Fox News Mailbag – June 1, 2013 Edition

We had a fairly quiet week Fox Mail-wise. Still, the emails we got reveal not only the cluelessness of some Fox News viewers who can’t tell the difference between us and them but also their mindset.

As usual, all identifying information has been redacted to protect the ignorant. Grammar and spelling have been left intact.

I’m not positive this one was for Fox News because we posted about the George Zimmerman case this week. However, this writer seems to feel he or she is writing to a Zimmerman sympathizer i.e. Fox.

Subject: Hispanics Never Win

I’m upset that they cannot use Travon Martins past records of trying to sell a gun , smoking weed, suspended in school.

At first Travon’s family got all the black leaders to protest, have rally, death threats against Zimmerman family, interviews with the media on television. Even the President had something. To say about this. That shouldn’t have been shown on television. They make it look like Zimmerman is racist. I can see if this happened after the trial. Its like they are all siding with Travon including the President. Why do other Trials bring in all the bad character of the person like the Travis Alexanders trial. They brought all the bad character of Jodi and Travis. The media is trying to show that Travon is a young innocent teenager buying skittles and tea. Zimmerman does not have a chance.

Subject: Headline news

Dear Fox news

I have an attractive headline on an oil minister that flies around the world in a private jet. Unfortunately they are minister during the day but an internet scammer during the night; fleecing people with a non- exixtent contract offers. Contact me for more information,

Regards

Subject: Concern about 1.Obama’s tactics during the Election and 2. did the Democrats create the health crisis.

Dear Sirs,

First I am a 40 year Democrat. However i did not vote for Obama in either election. I did not change my party for fear of what Obama might do to my family. Now I know my fears were correct. I have two concerns:

1. Obama gave George Soros’s (sp?) Company the job to count the votes. He gave millions to Obama, he used the IRS’s info against Republican candidates. He is a non-American and his Spanish company tallied the votes. The votes were sent outside the United States for counting. I do I know that my vote was not changed? “ It’s not who wins the election, it’s who counts the votes.”

2. In 1995 my youngest son was in ICU for 14 days. He survived and our insurance took care of most of the bill. I noticed that either the end of 95 or the beginning of 96 a popular bill had a rider added to it. The rider allowed health insurance companies to go from non-profit to profit. I remember saying to myself “This is a Bad Thing”. Clinton signed the bill with the rider into law. This way just after Hillary’s health plan was rejected. So who wrote the rider? And was the health crisis caused by Congress? It amazes me that they just happen to have a 2000 page healthplan available when Obama was elected.

thank you

Would like to complain about Megan Kelly, she never let’s people get there opinion out. If its a different opinion than hers she talks over them and gets in there faces. Most annoying. Your most informative person on fox news is Lou dobbs, he also knows how to listen

That's it for now. Tune in again next week, when we're almost sure to have a fresh batch!

" I did not change my party for fear of what Obama might do to my family. Now I know my fears were correct."

Whew! That letter right there is the perfect example of exactly what is wrong with this country. I’m guessing that letter is from a ‘nice’ little old grandmother who is totally sincere, but woefully ignorant. And now, the constant drumbeat of hatred that she receives from Fox and her email has this woman literally scared to death. She probably was a ‘40 year Democrat’, and still would be if her party hadn’t nominated a BLACKMAN, sending her and all the other closet racists in this country into a panic.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about that bunch of people. That kind of stupid just can’t be fixed. Time, however, is on our side.

“I’m upset that they cannot use Travon Martins past records of trying to sell a gun , smoking weed, suspended in school.”

Okay. I’m confused. I thought Republicons and Teabaggers SUPPORTED people “trying to sell a gun.” Wasn’t that one of the reasons so many of them opposed expanding background checks? Then, of course, there’s the fact that Zimmerman was claiming that he was merely following Florida’s “stand your ground” law which allows guns

As for “smoking weed,” polls suggest that a majority of YOUNG GOPers don’t have any problem with weed, and even support legalizing it (or, at the very least, decriminalizing it).

And as for “suspended in [sic] school,” given the state of modern schools, you can get suspended for almost anything (even wearing a Tweety bird necklace because some teacher thinks it could be a weapon). And how many students were sent home, under threat of suspension, to change their shirts bearing “obscene” or “offensive” words or phrases?

Then again, this was a comment from a FoxNoise viewer so it’s not surprising he (maybe she?) can’t keep his “talking points” straight. They do change so fast.

2. In 1995 my youngest son was in ICU for 14 days. He survived and our insurance took care of most of the bill.

You have got to be fugging kidding me.

All insurance companies make money betting against the sucker paying the premiums.

Miss one payment and your coverage is gone.

Apply with a family history of pre-existing conditions like diabetes and you can’t even look at the fugging paperwork.
